Montana Free Press

The Montana Free Press is an independent source for in-depth Montana news, information, and analysis.

Founded by veteran award-winning investigative and political reporter John S. Adams, MTFP seeks to uncover the truth and bring to light important news stories by studying arcane bureaucratic processes, seeking out dark corners of major institutions, digging deep into data and documents, and holding those in power accountable to the people.

Our coverage spans the Big Sky State with an emphasis on government, politics, natural resources, energy, social justice, health care, and the environment.

We work independently and in collaboration with other news outlets around Montana to produce meaningful news stories that have an impact on the lives and livelihoods of local communities.
